Jack Straw
11/6/79 – The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA
Back in the day of cassettes my brother and I used to refer to this “Shreddy Straw” as “The Jack of all Straws.” Jerry’s noodling is fast and furious, and boy do I love his triumphant vocal inflection in the final verse – “by the MORNIN’ light!!!” Chills!
